Dear all,

The user manual for Morpho provided the following explanation for CSinit:

"logical: if TRUE, all configurations are initially scaled to Unit Centroid 
Size."

This seems to suggest setting CSinit=FALSE would result in objects of 
varying centroid size after GPA. 

In the paper "Assessing thoraco-pelvic covariation in Homo sapiens and Pan 
troglodytes: A 3D geometric morphometric approach", the authors mentioned 
"First, the landmarks configurations were translated, rotated and scaled to 
Unit Centroid Size". This seems to suggest CSinit=TRUE. However, in the 
source code provided by the authors, CSinit was set to FALSE:

Females_adult_GPA <- procSym(Females_adult,CSinit = FALSE)
Males_adult_GPA <- procSym(Males_adult,CSinit = FALSE)

I am confused what on earth does CSinit mean in procSym. Why it was set to 
FALSE but the author still claimed objects were scaled to unit centroid 
size?

Thank you.
Lv
